Rated 5 out of 5 by Deb620 from Light weight and powerfulThis hedge trimmer is light weight which makes it easy to maneuver but it has enough power to get the job done efficiently. Great tool for the male or female gardener!

Rated 5 out of 5 by Djadman from Great hedge trimmer worth the $I was going to get the smaller hsa 45, but needed something with a little more power for thicker branches. This was the right choice for 1/4 to 3/8" shrub branches. The battery power is excellent and it charges very quickly. I've never even come close to using up the full battery power. I only wish the blade was a few inches longer to reach deeper shrubs. Pleasure to use.

Rated 5 out of 5 by HobkirkHill from Love the lower weight and no fumes!Love my new toy! We have a couple of acres of hedges and the HSA 56 was waiting to happen here. It cuts well and importantly, shapes well. Safety features are great but I have to remind myself to keep the blade away from my wrists when I do shaping of the hedges. Battery life could be longer but it forces me to take a break periodically. Would love to have Stihl add an additional comment in the user's manual; run it down to empty before recharging or recharge before empty. The comment about being able to cut hedges three football fields long is a bit of a stretch.
